Product Advisories

Thank you for using Canon products.
Effective December 6, 2010, Canon will start to provide as a chargeable service,
a locking mode dial modification for the “EOS 5D MarkII” and “EOS 7D” digital
single-lens reflex cameras.

This modification is available, for a fee, to owners of these cameras who would
prefer a Mode Dial which locks in place and can’t be accidentally moved during
normal camera operation.

For USA residents, the pricing of the locking mode dial modification service for
EOS 5D Mark II and 7D cameras has been set at $100 per camera as of December,
2010. (Pricing and availability subject to change without notice.) For further
details, see contact information for inquiries below.

Once modified, users must first press and hold down the central lock-release
button in order to turn the Mode Dial. The modification is intended to prevent
the Mode Dial from accidentally moving, once set to a particular exposure mode
by the user.
